Mike Birbiglia

Birbiglia's a stand up comedian who first appeared on our show in 2008 and quickly became an audience favorite. We built show 361 Fear of Sleep around one of his most memorable stories, about a sleepwalking catastrophe.

Mike Birbiglia recalls being in a car accident with a hit and run drunk driver. In the weeks that follow, Mike's brush with death turns into a full blown nightmare when the police report is so poorly filled out that somehow Mike winds up owing the drunk driver 12 thousand dollars…not because it's fair, but because he can't get anyone to listen to him.
